Instructions
- Mix the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-high heat until simmering. Fry the chicken breasts until golden-brown on each side. Transfer to a warm plate, tent with foil and keep warm while frying the remaining pieces. Repeat with all remaining pieces of chicken.
- In the same pan with remaining pan oil and butter, melt an additional 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until brown, scraping up any of the leftover chicken bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and the broth and simmer until reduced by half and begins to thicken.
- Pour in the cream until the sauce reaches your desired color and consistency.
- Add the chicken into the sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. (Note: the sauce will continue to thicken off the heat.)
- Serve over cooked pasta of choice, rice, or potatoes, if desired.
Notes
- *For pounding chicken breasts (skinless and boneless): Place one sliced chicken breast in between sheets of plastic wrap (or in a ziplock bag) and use a flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound and flatten to an even ¼-inch thickness. Set the flattened chicken breast aside and repeat with remaining slices.
- **If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle/separate.
- Marsala Wine Notes:
- Marsala Wine is a brandy-fortified wine from Sicily that is 100% worth adding to your pantry. It will keep in a cool, dry spot for months.
- Marsala Wine Substitutes:• Dry Madeira wine• Sherry (Dark)• Port (½ cup)• Red Vermouth (½ cup)• ¾ cup of dry white wine mixed with 2-3 teaspoons of brandy.
